SBFTF1010-130
10/100 Fault-Tolerant Redundant Link
Protector
• 10/100 Base-T(x) to 10/100 Base-T(x)
• Ethernet/Fast Ethernet
The SBFTF1010-130 is a fault-tolerant redundant link protector provides redundant
paths for fast Ethernet devices. It has three ports: main, primary, and backup. Typically,
the main port connects to a critical 10/100 fast Ethernet device. The primary port and the
backup port connect to two different switch ports or two different ports on separate
switches. When the unit powers up, it checks the primary port for a link signal; if the
signal is present, the main and primary ports connect and the signal from the backup port
is then disabled. Any device connected to the backup port will not detect a signal at this
time. However, if the device does not detect a signal on the primary port, then the main
port and backup port connect.
